Just had the most relaxing weekend vacation in Leogang! This charming destination truly has it all, blending adventure with relaxation in the most picturesque mountain setting.

Day 1: A Journey through the Mountain of Senses

Morning Delight: We kicked off our day with a delicious breakfast at Alte Schmiede on Asitz. The view, the rustic setting, and hearty meal set the perfect tone for our adventure ahead.

Mountain Majesty: With happy bellies, we made our way from the Alte Schmiede to the cross for breathtaking mountain views that stretched as far as the eye could see. The clear mountain air and panoramic vistas were absolutely stunning. A few feet away we found one of the wooden loungers with roofs called TONspur Islands. Take a moment and listen to gentle music in the background and allow yourself to relax fully.

Nature's Theater: Our next stop was the Sonnkogel, where we rested our souls at the Nature Cinema. Hammocks and wooden loungers awaited us, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning alpine scenery. It was a serene experience, watching nature's beauty unfold like a live movie. Off we trotted to Schabergkogel, where we found a bunch of adorable cows! After giving them some love and scratches, we headed on to Geierkogel. From there, we took the lower path that wound through pretty meadows and pastures, leading us all the way back to the Asitz mountain station.

Artful Hike: For our way back down we decided to take the trail of Arts. This inspiring path with art installations winds through tranquil forests and ends at the Senses Park. Here, a shimmering lake offers the perfect spot to rest your tired feet in the Kneipp area.
Before we zoomed down in the cable car, we made a pit stop at the Steinadlerbar to sip on some tasty drinks and watch the majestic Leoganger Steinberge turn orange in the upcoming sunset.

Day 2: Immersion in Serenity and Culinary Delight

Forest Bathing: The next day was pure bliss on the Shinrin Yoku path. This trail, designed for forest bathing, offered a unique opportunity to soak in nature's tranquility. Walking among the towering trees and breathing in the fresh forest air was incredibly rejuvenating. For this, you take the cable car all the way up the Asitz again and start walking down until you see the entrance gate „Waldbaden“. Just follow the marked trail and discover viewpoints and relaxing areas where you can breathe deeply and relax. Each step you take guides you towards a deeper connection with the forest, with the sound of nature all around you. Continuing your walk down, you will end at the Steinberg lift, about 1.3 km from the Asitz station. You can either walk the 20 minutes or jump on a bus that brings you back to Asitz Station.

Gourmet Finale: We wrapped up our stay with an exquisite gourmet dinner at 1617 Restaurant in Naturhotel Forsthofgut. The restaurant's commitment to serving traditional Austrian delicacies made for a perfect ending to our trip. We decided on a filled Schweinsbraten for two people, the Tafelspitz and the Deer Schnitzel. Each dish was a celebration of local flavors, amazingly prepared and beautifully presented.
